However, part of the beauty of the English language is in the complexity. We have 5 words with similar (yet slightly different) meanings while most other languages only have 1 word.

I'm no expert on language, but aren't other languages (Arabic, Mandarin, Japonese) more difficult to learn than English?

MERICUH!! FUCK YEAH!!
ARE LANGUICH IS SUPERIER!!

mandarin chinese and english are the most difficult languages to learn. mandarin due to the phonetics of it and english due to the volume of words, specificity (danke Deutsch), and grammatical structures (gratias latinum).

^dont forget borrowing words from every other language too.

Have you ever heard southeast asian languages? shit sounds like a cat having sex with a badger and they're both males and you're not even sure it's consensual.

Anyway, we make fun of the Italian language by going "boopity boppity, baba de bippity pizzaria?" Here's Italians doing the same thing to English:

True. What's fucked is that the OED keeps adding words that don't need to be added. When was the last time bootyliscious was acceptable slang?

Newspeak is doubleplusbetter than Oldspeak, comrade.

The song was made to show a native english speaker what their language sounds like to someone who does not speak it.
